Chapter 133 The General's Counterattack on the Female Crown Prince 18
Chapter 133 The General's Counterattack on the Female Crown Prince 18
"No! This is all just a nightmare. I have to return to reality!" After taking a short nap in the carriage, Ye Chuxue's thoughts became clearer, and all the memories of this life flooded into her heart like a tide.
She felt extremely confused and bewildered, as if the whole world was collapsing at this moment.
How could Gu Yan end up in such a situation? You know, he’s the future emperor of Ningguo! This thought kept circling in Ye Chuxue’s mind, making her extremely anxious.
That's right, she still has her father to rely on. As long as she tells her father everything that happened in her previous life, given how much Ye Geng loves his daughter, he will definitely help and save his future son-in-law.
Ye Chuxue, who had just lost control of his emotions and smashed things crazily, suddenly became extremely calm at this moment.
She quickly summoned the personal maids that Gu Yan had specially arranged for her, and told them to change her clothes quickly and dress up carefully.
The housekeeper, who had been busy all night, tried to persuade Ye Chuxue kindly, reminding her that the door of the Duke's Mansion was now closed, so it would be better for her to rest first and make plans tomorrow.
Ye Chuxue thought for a moment and felt that what the housekeeper said made sense, so she gave up the idea of continuing to make trouble.
The next morning, Duke E took a special leave to stay at home and invited many family elders to come and witness the important moment when he removed Ye Chuxue from the family tree.
Just when everyone gathered together, Ye Chuxue, dressed in gorgeous clothes and with exquisite makeup, happened to arrive at the scene.
At this moment, the atmosphere seemed particularly strange, even a little suffocating.
Finally, a highly respected elder stepped forward and said politely, "Miss Ye, please forgive my bluntness. After discussion among the clan members, we have decided that from now on, you will no longer be a member of our Ye clan. When you go out in public, please do not identify yourself as a young lady from the Duke's mansion."
Ye Chuxue frowned tightly, thinking to herself: I didn't expect that this old man would actually mean it!
After she carefully sorted out the memories in her mind, she became more and more convinced that Gu Yan had not committed any fault, and that everything was just deliberately exaggerated by those people.
She secretly vowed that when Gu Yan ascended to a high position again, she would make the entire Ye family be exiled to the frontier. However, at this moment, under no other circumstances, she could only bow her head and ask Ye Geng for help.
Ye Chuxue ignored the elder and walked straight towards Ye Geng who was sitting in the main seat.
She slowly lowered her proud head and pleaded in a soft and earnest voice, "Father, please follow me to the inner hall. I have something extremely important to report to you in person. This matter concerns the life and death of our entire Ye family!"
Seeing that her words were so sincere and her expression was firm, he stood up and took her into the inner hall.
But who could have expected that as soon as he stepped into the inner hall, Ye Chuxue gave his biological father a big "surprise".
She took a deep breath and then said solemnly, "Father, in fact, Gu Yan's true identity is a descendant of the royal family of the previous dynasty. And I, your daughter, have experienced a rebirth. In my previous life, Gu Yan successfully ascended the throne and canonized me as queen, allowing our Ye family to continue to prosper..."
Descendants of the previous royal family?
Ye Geng's heart suddenly shook, and he suddenly realized as if he had been enlightened. It turned out that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess had already seen through Gu Yan's true identity!
However, at this moment, Ye Chuxue did not notice the change in her father's mind at all.
Seeing that her father was still silent, she spoke again anxiously: "Dad, please quickly order Jingzhao Prefecture to release the people! Gu Yan will restore the country sooner or later! As for Su Lanyin, she is just a woman, how can she be qualified for the throne of emperor? She..."
"Pah~pah~pah~"
A crisp and loud slap suddenly sounded, interrupting Ye Chuxue's unfinished words.
Ye Geng raised his big, thick hands in rage and slapped his ignorant, disloyal and unfilial little daughter three times in the face.
Looking at Ye Chuxue's stunned face, Ye Geng could barely contain the disappointment in his eyes. He could never have imagined that the daughter he had raised with so much painstaking effort would actually say such outrageous words!
"You old bastard, you are simply stubborn! When Gu Yan ascends the throne, I will not let you off easily..." Ye Chuxue covered her swollen cheeks and cursed with gritted teeth.
"Snapped"
Before she could finish, another heavy slap landed on her face. This time, Ye Chuxue saw stars and almost lost her balance.
"Come here! Quickly prepare the carriage. I will personally escort this rebellious girl to the palace to see the emperor today!"
Ye Geng was filled with grief and indignation, tears streaming down his face, but he quickly wiped away the tears with his sleeves and resumed his usual dignified demeanor.
"No, no, Dad, I beg you, no."
Ye Chuxue roared in despair, but Ye Geng had her mouth stuffed. He didn't want to hear any more earth-shattering words from this rebellious girl.
In the Qiankun Hall of the imperial palace, all the civil and military officials were preparing to leave the court. Su Lan heard Tuanzi report that Ye Geng was on the way to the palace with Ye Chuxue. This was like a pillow being delivered to you when you were sleepy.
"Later, Father, I have something to report."
Su Lan's words calmed down the officials' eager hearts.
"What does the princess want to report?" Eunuch Feng waved his whisk and stood up to speak for Emperor An.
"Have you heard about Prince Gu's attempt to assassinate Duke Ye last night?"
Su Lan glanced at the officials before continuing to say to Emperor An, "I have also found out that Gu Yan is a man of extraordinary status."
"Oh, isn't this Gu Yan the grandson that the Yixing Wang found a while ago?"
Emperor An also had a vague impression of this person, but not much, after all, Su Lan had been handling the recent state affairs.
At this time, a young eunuch ran to Eunuch Feng's ear and told him that Duke Ye had brought Miss Ye to the palace to ask to see His Majesty.
Eunuch Feng went to Emperor An's side and whispered something to the outer hall, "Ask Duke E to come to the palace."
All the ministers looked sideways as Ye Geng brought Ye Chuxue, who was tied up, into the hall, and then knelt down.
"Your Majesty, I am here to apologize."
Ye Geng slightly polished Ye Chuxue's words before speaking them out loud, but it was enough to scare Emperor An and all the officials.
"Father, I also have evidence to prove that Gu Yan is a remnant of the previous dynasty. I will present it to you later."
Su Lan righteously revealed Gu Tianqi's sinister intention of secretly cultivating Gu Yan, a remnant of the previous dynasty, and begged Emperor An to severely punish him!
What was laid out before everyone was the solid evidence that Su Lan had spent a lot of effort and a long time collecting: among them was not only the evidence of Gu Yan forming cliques and factions, but also the evidence of his crimes;
There were also detailed records of Gu Tianqi's meticulous training and cultivation of him since childhood; it even included Gu Yan's act of sending people to assassinate Ye Geng's entire family last night...
These shocking facts, one after another, were like bolts from the blue, striking hard on the hearts of everyone present.
The originally noisy court suddenly became silent. All the court officials were dumbfounded and so shocked that they couldn't utter a word for a long time.
Who could have imagined that a shocking conspiracy of rebellion that had been planned for twenty years would be completely exposed at this moment?
Although this was not the situation Su Lan had planned, this unexpected ending was undoubtedly a happy thing!
In the end, Emperor An was furious and immediately issued an imperial decree, ordering the imperial envoy to lead elite troops to Gu Tianqi's fiefdom to capture these rebels and escort them back to the imperial city.
When the time comes for execution in the autumn, Gu Tianqi and Gu Yan, the grandfather and grandson, will be made to accept the severe punishment of the national law together!
As for Ye Chuxue, since she was just talking nonsense and making irresponsible remarks, and had not committed any substantial wrongdoing, the matter could be left to Duke Ye to decide and handle.
Ye Geng also told her that he had kicked her out of the house. Now Ye Chuxue had nowhere to go, so she could only run back to the Duke's Mansion and beg her mother to keep her.
The soft-hearted wife of the Duke secretly gave her a small house to live in without the knowledge of her husband, and then ignored her.
"Host, are we going to deal with Ye Chuxue?"
Tuanzi watched Ye Chuxue sitting alone in a small room cursing everyone like a madman. He didn't want to monitor her anymore and started urging his host to work.
